Exclamation battery drain and more,

I have a 92 F-150 xlt. Everytime I connect the battery the lights come on even with the switch off, so I removed the head light switch and it still happens. Even with the ignition switch off it does it. Also it sounds like its running a pump in the transmission so I unplugged the wires to the tranny to trouble shoot before it ran the battery down. I have seen no coroded wires or any exposed wires grounding out. I have about disassembled the entire truck to find the problem.

I have went through all the fuses but to no avail.


So I decided to come here and ask for help. Hope I'm in the right place.

It sounds like you may have a fusable link problem,or some sort of power distribition problem,I would try and remove the secondary wires from the starter relay,and check and see if possibly 1 has melted into the other,certain circuits do not feed through the ign switch so key on or off wont help you.
